Eaton Strainer - Model 510
Eaton Model 510 Multibasket Simplex Strainer, 8" to 36", Iron and Carbon Steel – Flanged
Simplex pipeline strainers remove damage causing particulate matter from the process media,
protecting system components such as flow meters, pumps, and spray nozzles. The particulate
matter is captured in the strainer basket. The line is then temporarily shut down and the baskets
removed for cleaning or replacement.
The Model 510 Simplex Strainer is designed for larger piping systems having flow rates up to
40,000 gpm. Unlike other large size simplex strainers the Model 510 has a multi-basket design.
Four strainer baskets per unit strain the process media and give the strainer an extremely high
dirt removal capability. This is an important consideration in larger size strainers that,
because of their size and design, take longer basket leaning or change out. The longer the
strainer stays in service between cleanings, the less expensive its operating costs.
To reduce the pressure loss to an absolute minimum the Model 510 has a straight through flow
configuration. This is made possible by a unique basket design that incorporates a slanted
top to permit straight through flow.
The use of four baskets, rather than one or two, helps to keep operating costs low because
the overall size of each basket can be smaller. This means that basket cleaning is a one person
job, with no need for two+ operators or lifting tackle to remove the baskets. To
make this job even easier and quicker the Model 510 can be ordered with a special cover lifting
davit with which the operator can raise the strainer cover and swing it out of the way for access
to the strainer baskets. An additional benefit of the four basket design is the
centerline to bottom and centerline to top dimensions of the strainer are very short, creating
a low-profile design that is ideally suited for installation in cramped quarters.
This model is perfect for large size, high flow rate systems that provide significant advantages in regards to performance and reduced operating costs.
